CHICAGO — A DePaul University professor who has accused some Jews of improperly using the legacy of the Holocaust to get compensation payments has been denied tenure after a drawn-out public fight.
Norman Finkelstein, whose work led to a long-running public feud with a Harvard law professor and lawyer famous for representing O.J. Simpson, said he was disappointed by the faculty panel’s 4–3 decision.
“They can deny me tenure, deny me the right to teach,” the 53-year-old told the Chicago Sun-Times. “But they will never stop me from saying what I believe.”
